I've got enough control over my fingers to not be desperate for the landscape keyboard, cut and paste isn't essential for my use, manage my calendar via other sources and I can't see where I'd use spotlight. The a2dp, yer, would like, but at the cost of what I'm already running? I've made do without for long enough that it doesn't make that big a difference.

So, kinda. Not just the theme, things like SBS make my life so much easier, tricker3g is essential when running Slingplayer, etc, etc. Could go on. Makes no sense for me to upgrade.

Jailbreak is a when you unlock your phone to be able to run software from other sources than the Apple app store


Plug phone into puter, do backup via itunes, select software update. Can take up to an hour.


Yes[/QUOTE]


I take it they are not running a similar schem for the 3GS due to this upgrade?

i'm no expert but maybe delete itunes then re install software maybe that might help

Palaceman2002 17-06-2009 01:56 PM

I have done a bit of reading and I am sure thos update is of very little benefit to me.

Cut and paste? (how often is that required)
MMS (Hvae felt the need for this once)
Spotlight (pointless)
Landscape keypad (normal is fine for me)

I simply don't understand anyone who isn't upgrading, 3.0 provides way more cool stuff than jailbreaking does.

Each to their own though

I disagree with you (as usual it seems).

I really do not want to give up tethering (i.e. without having to pay a ridiculous supplement) and nor am I prepared to forgo Tricker 3g, which allows me to use the Slingbox application using the 3g network.

Fortunately it does appear as if a jailbreak will be available soon for the new firmware, so I am content to wait.

Using cut and paste

Yep!

Put the Golden Master copy of whatever its called on my spare iphone.

Nice features, although after the wait its a little bit underwhelming.
Also keep accidently going into Spotlight.

Who can reccomend nice bluetooth headphones?

Allow me to respond.

I just don't get tethering via an iphone - it's slow and sucks the battery - an easier, more robust method would be to use a dongle.

As for the slingbox over 3G - this just seems madness to me. Just use a laptop already.

I am thinking of getting those giant Nokia ones if I can get them cheapish

Swanny32 17-06-2009 03:43 PM

Is the update out today? I was told earlier it was put back to tomorrow.

I know this was at James, but for me;

Point 1. True but a dongle costs extra. Tethering on jailbroken iPhone is free.
Point 2. I don't want to take my laptop on my train commute every day, but being able to watch Sky Sports News on the train every morning is a joy

Palaceman2002 17-06-2009 05:05 PM

What is Slingbox?

hong_kong_hg 17-06-2009 05:09 PM

Under what circumstances / for what purpose do you guys use tethering?
